This picture, created by Adolf Dehn depicts the people that F. Scott Fitzgerald describes in this excerpt from The Great Gatsby. The people are enjoying themselves in a carefree moonlit wonderland were onlookers are free to observe. The YouTube video connects both Fitzgerald’s writing and the picture by giving us more information about the narrator, Nick Carraway, who is describing this scene. The video also shows us the lifestyle of the people who are depicted in the portrait above.
